Google Is Reaming Apple From The Inside Out

According to BI’s Nick Carlson: after years of hammering
away at Apple's share of the smartphone market with cheap-to-free Android
phones, Google has lately adopted a new tactic to win mobile.

Call it "the worm strategy"—because Google is
attacking Apple from the inside out. Over
the past six months, Google has begun to systematically replace core,
Apple-made iOS apps with Google-made iOS apps.

In July, Google launched Chrome for iPhone—a Safari
replacement. Then, in October came Google Search—which included a voice search
feature to compete with Siri. In December, Google launched Google Maps to
replace Apple Maps, and a much-improved Gmail to replace Apple's core Mail
app. It also put out a new YouTube app,
to replace the one that Apple removed during its last iOS upgrade.
